European Conferences on Liquid Crystals (ECLC) are the traditional forums
of scientists working in the interdisciplinary field of Liquid Crystals and Soft Anisotropic Materials bringing together
several hundreds of specialists from academic and industrial research centers across the world. European Conferences on
Liquid Crystals started at the end of the 20-th century. In the 21-th century they were held in Germany (Halle, 2001),
Spain (Jaca, 2003), Italy (Sesto, 2005), Portugal (Lisbon, 2007), France (Colmar, 2009), Slovenia (Maribor, 2011),
Greece (Rodos, 2013) and United Kingdom (Manchester, 2015).

The 14-th European Conference on Liquid Crystals will be held in Moscow,
Russia, on June 25-30, 2017 at the green and beautiful campus of Lomonosov Moscow State University, the most
famous Russian University, which is located in the Moscow city center. The conference will be dedicated to the
90-th anniversary of Frederiks effect which has provided the basis for the display technology. Vsevolod Frederiks
(Freedericksz) was a Russian physicist, the founder of the liquid crystal scientific school in Russia.
